★★★★★Viator review
Great Views, Great Group, Even Better Energy
Michael_T, October 2026
We had such a fun day on the Gamti Mountain tour. The scenery was beautiful, but what really made the experience was our guide, Erando, and the group we happened to be with. The mix of people just worked perfectly — lots of laughs, great energy, and even some bus karaoke while bouncing along the rougher roads. Erando was friendly, knowledgeable, and did a great job keeping the day relaxed and fun while still making sure everything ran smoothly. The hike itself was very manageable and the views were absolutely worth it. This ended up being one of those tours where the people, the scenery, and the atmosphere all came together perfectly. Definitely recommend it if you’re looking to get outside Tirana and have a genuinely fun day.
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
非常棒的一日游/Ottima esperinza/ Excellent experience
112laue, September 2026
We had an amazing time visiting Bovilla Lake with Erando! He made the trip smooth, fun, and memorable from start to finish. His local insights, great energy, and driving made the day stress-free. If you're visiting Albania, I highly recommend booking a tour with Erando! Ottima esperienza! Consigliatissimo! 路况比较糟糕，建议中国同胞们定个一日游上山。山上风光挺美的～

Gamti Mountain and Bonilla Lake close to Tirana
Z197RZandrewh, September 2026
Great day trip to a special place. Beautiful blue lake and great views from Gamti Mountain. Desi was a fun, knowledgeable and competent guide who contributed greatly to our satisfaction with this trip.
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
If you travelled the mountains a lot, I'd not recommend
dionpluto, September 2026
As people who were born in mountain area and travelled mountains a lot, we were not impressed at all by this tour - Lake is nice but artificial - Hiking is climbing the dusty hill and then the stones and stairs to have a view on the lake and not the mountains themselves that much - Poor infrastructure. Dusty/bumpy road, 1 restaurant with 1 WC and nothing more - Not much info from the guide We were quite disappointed we spent the whole day just to see the artificial lake from above. Although area itself has a great potential Pros - smooth pickup and org (which is always a lottery in Albania)
★★★★★Viator review
Great but steep and a bumpy bus ride.
Peter_L, September 2026
The trip was great and had plenty of time. Pick up was fairly close and communication was good. The hike is fairly steep although the distance is quite small and the road going up is bumpy.
